Derrick Goold covered the spring training opener of the Astros against the Nationals. He tells us about how interesting that was today. No “regulars” in the line-up for the Astros and that’s against the rules. Dusty Baker was asked about it and answered with a “young guys” angle. What was the atmosphere like?

Pitching-wise, Cabrera looked strong. Poncedeleon was competitive too. Matt Carpenter took the ball to left-field twice and maybe that’s a glimmer of hope for his offense to make a comeback.
